Gears of War Profile (X360)Gears of War is Microsoft's Xbox 360 killer app for 2006 and you can find screenshots, previews, trailers, and more right here.

Carcassonne Review (XBLA)Another classic European board game takes a stab at Xbox Live Arcade glory this week, and Carcassonne, like Catan before it, is an amazingly fun game that works perfectly on the XBLA. Carcassonne actually bests Catan in a few key ways, such as having a faster paced game and local multiplayer, to make it stand as easily the best of the two. Whether you already love the game or have never played it before, Carcassonne is absolutely worth checking out.

Mad Tracks Review (XBLA)Mad Tracks brings vehicular combat to the Xbox Live Arcade and offers up a decent list of modes, fun gameplay, and above average presentation. There is certainly fun to be had here, but it is somewhat short lived and after you run through everything a couple of times there isn't much to bring you back. Find out the full story in our full review.

Shadow Complex Review (XBLA)Imagine, if you will, if Super Metroid and Metal Gear Solid got together and had a baby. The result would be Shadow Complex. It is a game of upgrades, exploration, crazy conspiracies, boss battles, and more all in an isolated military complex. And the best part is that it looks like a current-gen, Unreal Engine game but is played from a 2D side-scrolling perspective. It pairs amazing presentation with amazing gameplay to create one of the best XBLA games yet.

Texas Hold 'em Review (XBLA)The long awaited Xbox Live Arcade version of Texas Hold 'em is available now but it is worth your 800 points? Find out in our full review.

Top 8 Videogame MoviesVideogame movies aren’t going to be winning any Oscars any time soon, but they are still pretty fun to watch. Grab some popcorn and a few friends and waste away an evening or two with these DVDs. Just make sure to check your expectations at the door.

Top Ten Best Looking Xbox GamesThe Xbox was the graphical powerhouse of the last generation so we take a look at some of the best looking games available for the system.

Alien Hominid HD Review (XBLA)Alien Hominid HD is a quirky little arcade-style shooter that is fast, frantic, and very fun to play. Think of Contra or Metal Slug and that should give you a good idea of what the game plays like. The graphics are gorgeous, and it provides the perfect mix of challenge and fun to keep you coming back for more. This XBLA game is definitely worth the 800 point investment.

Beyond Good & Evil HD Review (XBLA)Beyond Good & Evil is a cult classic from the PS2 / Xbox / GameCube days. Ubisoft has given it an HD facelift for the new generation, but does the game still hold up? Find out in our review.

Torchlight Review (XBLA)Torchlight brings Diablo-style hack-and-slash loot collecting to the Xbox Live Arcade. And it is good. Darn good. Find out all of the details here in our review.

Pac-Man Championship Edition Review (XBLA)Microsoft and Namco shocked the videogame world by announcing Pac-Man Championship Edition exclusively for Xbox Live Arcade, the first real update to Pac-Man in over 25 years. New graphics, new stages, and a new gameplay mechanic that continuously reseeds the map with dots and power pellets, Pac-Man CE is a fresh take on an old classic that is surprisingly good. Find out all about it in our full review.

RoboBlitz Review (XBLA)RoboBlitz marks the debut of the Unreal Engine 3 in the Xbox Live Arcade, and the result is undeniably impressive from a graphics and physics standpoint. This game looks really, really good. It is just too bad the gameplay underneath isn't really all that fun.

Small Arms Review (XBLA)Small Arms is an original title developed for the Xbox Live Arcade that tries to mimic Nintendo's Super Smash Bros series. The main differences here are that there is a much greater focus on weapons, and that the characters featured here aren't even in the same stratosphere as Smash Bros' lineup. This is an important thing to note because nostalgia and fanboy/nerdiness accounts for a good amount of Smash Bros' appeal. Small Arms just doesn't have that and the result is kind of boring.

Uno Review (X360)Uno has made its long awaited debut on the Xbox Live Arcade and the wait has been worth it. It is amazing how so simple of a game can be so fun and addictive. Do yourself a favor and spend the 400 points for Uno.

Worms Review (XBLA)Worms is a turn-based strategy game where you pit teams of worms against each other in all out warfare. Bombs. Guns. Sheep. Anything is fair game. This unique and funny take on turn-based combat has proven to be a cult hit on the PC over the years, and now it makes an appearance on the Xbox Live Arcade. It is a bit bare bones compared to some of the other versions of the game out there, but it is still amazingly fun and worth the 800 points.

Prey Profile (Xbox 360)Prey uses an enhanced version of the Doom 3 engine to create breathtaking graphics and solid FPS gameplay. The next big shooter for Xbox 360 is here.

Risk: Factions Review (XBLA)Risk: Factions is everything that makes the board game Risk great, plus a fresh new spin on the old formula. If you want to play a classic game of Risk where your goal is to dominate the world, you can. If you want to play a new objective-based version of Risk with cats, zombies, robots, and yet, you can. There is something for everyone here. Risk: Factions is a great addition to an already strong XBLA board game lineup.

DDR Universe 2 Review (X360)Konami has delivered its second Xbox 360 DDR game of 2007, but we’re not sure if we should be excited or concerned. DDR Universe 2, unfortunately, has the exact same flaws as Universe 1 – a weak song list being the biggest offender – which makes it pretty hard to recommend if you already put down $70 back in February for the first game. The core gameplay in DDR Universe 2 is as solid as ever, but it really struggles in terms of overall value.
